    Need id on two helmets please.

    I came across these two helmets yesterday, but I don't really have an idea I presume they are British but they could also be Canadian, I think.

          What makes you think Canadian? Is there a C broad arrow mark?

          The leather neck guard is unusual. I'm trying to remember if perhaps I've seen another like that which had been used by a Belgian or Dutch fire department, but I'm not sure.

            first: Canadian helmet shell original ww2 but used post war by the dutch army or fire brigades ... (liner is post war)

            second: I believe a British shell, but also a post war liner

                  Post war Dutch reused and repainted, the only thing original to WWII is the shells.
